The Communities in Focus Summit is a dynamic, three-day gathering designed to spotlight the incredible work taking place across our Communities of Practice. This year we will be focusing on the following Communities of Practice: Attendees will engage in deep dialogue, build meaningful connections, and surface new ideas that can strengthen impact across all participating communities. Join us as we learn from one another, challenge assumptions, and create new pathways forward together.
 Featured Speaker! Dr. Jessica Riddell!Dr. Jessica Riddell is a Full Professor of Early Modern Literature in the English Department at Bishop’s University (Québec, Canada). She holds the Stephen A.
